#NASA Is Using Tech From The Columbia Crash Investigation To See How Trees Failstereo photogrammetry is used a process to determine the strain on a certain structure which is why it was used to investigate the causes of the Space shuttle Columbia disaster.
But NASA engineers--including one who worked on that investigation--are looking into using it to determine how and why trees fall.
NASA Glenn engineer Matt Melis joined forces with Cleveland arborist Mark Hoenigman and used stereo photogrammetry to examine the trees.
NASA says a consulting firm has approached the researchers since then looking to see if they'll examine branch structures to find ways of fighting against extreme weather events like Hurricane Sandy.

If those birds are quicker--maybe by shorter wings or smarter then they survive and the others get hit by cars
The way this article writes it It sounds more like scientists observed that birds with shorter wings spans are less likely to get hit by cars than birds with longer wingspans.
I didn't read anything about long winged swallows developing shorter wings and to imply that these shallows are going to die off
It compares long and short wing swallows--not swallows and some brand new species. No body (with the possible exception of wheresfluffy) was discussing the kind of evolution you so adamantly argue against.

The rocket carrying the robotic probe called Luna-Glob will be the first set off from Russia's new Far east launchpad the Vostochny cosmodrome.
Plans are also in development to send a manned spacecraft to the moon in 2018.
Then we would need the massive spacecraft able to transport these agricultural products back to earth.
To determine this they modeled the seagulls as airfoils which you can think of basically like an airplane wing.

NASA plans to send the chamber and the plant pillows to the International Space station on April 14 aboard a Spacex launch.
The growth chamber is made not of iridescent pink tulle although it looks that way here.
Once it reaches the International Space station astronauts can open it to use it and stretch it up to a foot
Astronauts can also push the sides down completely to observe their plants. The structure comes with red blue and green LEDS for the plants.
Russian cosmonauts have grown a number of crops aboard the International Space station using a stiff-sided greenhouse with removable trays.
so astronauts can try growing more and larger vegetables. For the April 14 flight the veggie pillows will carry romaine lettuce seedlings of the Outredgeous variety.

Russian scientists have verified that several plants grown aboard the International Space station are safe to eat Russian news agency RIA Novosti reports.
And yes cosmonauts have given them a munch. We have gotten also experience with the astronauts and cosmonauts eating the fresh food they grow
and not having problems crop scientist Bruce Bugbee wrote to Popular Science in an email.
Bugbee is a professor at Utah State university and has worked on studies of food grown in space.
Space agencies hope the fresh vegetables will feed not only astronauts'bodies but their spirits as well. Caring for a plant every day provides vital psychological relief giving astronauts a small remembrance of Earth NASA project scientist Howard Levine told Modern Farmer in a 2013 feature about space veggies.
Produce in the International Space station grow in a greenhouse named Lada after the Russian goddess of spring.
Lada has removable root modules in which astronauts are able to grow several generations of crops before the modules'nutrients are used up.
At that point the astronauts send the modules back to Earth for analysis. Biologists On earth examine the modules to see
if any harmful microbes have grown on them. They also check the modules and the plants'leaves for contaminants
which may come from the space station's environment. These are the same types of tests we routinely conduct on the food grown On earth Bugbee says.
Once those are done astronauts will plant it with rice tomatoes and bell peppers none of which have been grown in space before.
The Ancient greeks dreamed up Daedalus who fashioned wings for his son (which unfortunately worked a little too well.
Traditional fixed-wing aircraft rely on a steady flow of air over the wings. The same is true of helicopters and rotors.
But as the wings of insects flap back and forth the air around them is constantly changing.
And the stubby wings of bees and other insects lift far more weight than can be explained using conventional steady-state aerodynamics principles.
In the 1970s Torkel Weis-Fogh a Danish zoologist at the University of Cambridge used high-speed photography to analyze the exact wing motions of hovering insects and compare them to the insects morphological features.
When insect wings clap together and then peel apart between the up and down strokes the motion flings air away
This vortex creates the force necessary to lift the insect between wing flaps. Similar vortices might be generated by the angle
and rotation of the wings Weis-Fogh posited providing additional lift. Two decades later computational techniques caught up with theory and scientists began to apply these principles to manmade systems.
Flies have really complex wing trajectories. There are a whole bunch of subtle things that happen Wood says.
By the time Wood graduated in 2004 and opened his own lab at Harvard university he had helped pioneer a way to use extremely energy-efficient exotic materials to replicate the motion of a fly s wing;
and watched as the wings of his tiny creation began to vibrate lifting the robot into the air for several seconds.
When wings flap at their most efficient frequency hich happens when air density wing speed and an organism s weight are balanced perfectly-hey create waves of vortices that merge and build.
The audible result is the hum of a hummingbird or buzz of a bee says Jayant Ratti Techject s president.
A flapping-wing drone utilizing resonance generates significant improvements in energy efficiency creating optimal lift with minimal effort.
By closely observing the positions of the flies body parts they could measure the exact flip and twist of wings and legs.
At that instant the wings froze. Every time the fly slammed into the window it reflexively surrendered to the crash momentum and fell.
Then its wings flapped again propelling the insect into a controlled hover. It can hit
and recover in two or three wing beats which is phenomenal Vaneck says. There is no manmade system that can do that.
and the wings needed to be controlled independently. So they designed a shell for a quadrotor that incorporated shock absorbers ubber dampers in between sections made from carbon fiber and plastic.
in order to mimic the alternating wing speed that provides four-winged insects with exceptional control. When the vehicle is blown out of position
Guiler and Vaneck aim to replace the propellers on their quadrotor with flapping wings. The Instanteye is far better at recovering from wind gusts
But what we discovered was flapping-wing birds and insects are suited perfectly for environments where you have dynamic obstructions he trees are moving the branches are moving.

#Interstellar winds buffeting our solar system have shifted directionscientists including University of New hampshire astrophysicists involved in NASA's Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission have discovered that the particles streaming into the solar system from interstellar space have changed likely direction over the last 40 years.
The results based on data spanning four decades from 11 different spacecraft including IBEX were published in the journal Science September 5 2013.
The data from the IBEX spacecraft show that neutral interstellar atoms are flowing into the solar system from a different direction than previously observed.
The latest IBEX measurements of the interstellar wind direction differed from those made by the Ulysses spacecraft in the 1990s.
That difference led the IBEX team to compare the IBEX measurements to data gathered by 11 spacecraft between 1972 and 2011.
The research was funded by NASA Carbon cycle & Ecosystems the National Science Foundation's Long term Ecological Research Program and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
